Horizontal Flaring Machine
Having served the steel wheel rim manufacturing industry for a number of years, we have developed into a professional rim machine manufacturer in China that offers customers a wide range of wheel rim manufacturing line machines and tooling. The horizontal horizontal flaring machine is an important piece of rim equipment in wheel rim production lines. It is designed to flare rims after the welding and re-rounding processes. The machine can flare both edges on the rim into a horn mouth, making it convenient for the following roll forming process.

Features of the horizontal flaring machine
1. The wheel rim of the flaring equipment comes with an integrally designed frame structure that allows for a high strength and stable operation.
2. The flaring form is controllable and the flaring amount can be adjusted quickly.
3. The rim flaring tool is designed with 12 pyramids. Rim edges are flared using passive sliding friction instead of forward extrusion, which reduces stress on the molds and increases their service lives up to 10 times longer.
4. Flaring dies are horizontally fixed on the lathe bed. Flaring is driven by the hydraulic oil cylinder, enabling its high precision.
5. The horizontal flaring machine can also be equipped with an automatic load/unload system for achieving unmanned operation.
6. The material feeding unit has an online inspection function that can automatically recognize and sort out the rims with a cracked weld.
